NY Jets’ general manager Joe Douglas will pick the team’s next head coach.
The NY Jets royally screwed up their coaching search two years ago. Not only did they hire a widely-accepted poor candidate in Adam Gase, but the entire hiring process was doomed to fail from the start.
Rather than let their general manager lead the search for a new head coach, owner Christopher Johnson took charge. Perhaps that was because their GM, Mike Maccagnan, would be fired only a few months later in an oddly-timed departure.
